The house had chairs , umbrellas, toys, wagons and bikes. The pool area has everything you possibly can need and the kitchen is well stocked with anything you have at home.

The house is beautifully decorated! The walk to the beach was so easy and the house has all the beach equipment needed (wagons, umbrellas, chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, etc). The house even provided bikes so we could tour the island by bike. The kitchen was fully stocked with more than enough to cook our own meals. The house is also close to restaurants/shops within walking distance. We will definitely be booking with Kristen again - she was a wonderful host and always answered any questions we had promptly. ##### Rebecca C.

We spent many hours on the lanai, playing the monkey game (amongst other games found in the home) and of course loved the 8 minute walk to the beautiful beach! Kristin was a great host who checked in with us periodically! ##### Stacy H. ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa E.

We have been renting the same home for 5 years, and Kristen has had ownership the past few years. Each year there are improvements to the property. She listens to her clients feedback and makes sure you have everything you need. I mean there is an air fryer, blender, outdoor shower… oh, and she heats the pool. The home is perfect for our extended family of 6, and my teenage daughter looks forward to her week in “her” king-sized bed. Our son loves the bunk room. My parents enjoy the pool and loungers. We load up beach chairs every day and head to the beach. There is even a taller chair that is great for my dad who has had both knees replaced. The bikes are great for getting back and forth to the beach. This home has everything you need for a great family vacation. We greatly appreciate the second fridge in the garage which we use for water and other beverages. We will be back again in 2026- maybe twice! ##### Laura H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela S.

Lovely pool area. Really everything you need and then some. Communication with the owner is easy and quick response time. I would definitely stay again if in the area.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great getaway spot! ##### Danielle P.

Jul 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### great location, home and host! Enjoyed our stay! Close to beach and lots to do within biking distance. House was well equipped with back pack beach chairs and bikes to ride. Used the yoga mat for beach yoga. Nice cooler for the boat we rented! Kitchen had everything more than expected and the furnishings were all super cute in house with lots of extra blankets. We biked to mini golf, gelato, dinner, the jw marriott and really enjoyed our stay. Host was helpful. Responsive and even had a handyman who came and took trash out. Great home to rent with good layout for parents w teens/kids or another family on the other side of house. Would be good for grandparents and family. Loved having 3 king beds and a bunk bed room. ##### Katie M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lydia L.

May 21, 2024 #### Family Vacation This year was the 4th year we rented the same house on Mendel. The new owner is great to communicate with, and has already made improvements to the home. We loved it before, and she has made it better! The home is perfect for the 6 members of my family (myself and husband, kids 12 and 10, and my parents). We particularly enjoyed the pool being heated this year. The outdoor TV is a great addition as well, but I have to admit, we didn’t use it! It was warmer than usual during our stay so we opted for inside TV. As always, the bikes, wagons and beach chairs/umbrellas ensure you will have a great day at the beach. The extra fridge in the garage is also handy for keeping extra drinks cold. Thank you for yet another wonderful Marco family vacation! ##### Laura H.

Outstanding 4 Bedroom home within walking distance to the beach. Everything worked well in the house and the large heated pool was used frequently during our stay. Owner (Kristen) was easily contacted and accommodated our early arrival request. While the house was in excellent condition, the owner is currently renovating the interior so this home will be even a better place to stay. We’ve found our home away from home in Marco Island! Thanks Kristen for the hospitality! ##### Thomas O. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert K. May 1, 2024 #### Great Place to Stay! I've been staying here for the past several years. My family and I love the place and always enjoy it. The home is roomy and the pool is great. Walking or biking to the beach is very handy with the location of this home. The owner was always prompt with communication. I would recommend this home to anyone. Marco Island is my home away from home and we look forward to visiting every year!! ##### Robert K.

This was our second year staying here for our spring break and it was perfect for us and our family! Kristen was a wonderful host and we plan to come back again next year! ##### Tyler M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mondrian South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Mondrian-South-Beach.h2190271.Hotel-Information) > > [W South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-W-South-Beach.h11881.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Orlando at WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Orlando-At-WALT-DISNEY-WORLD-Resort.h7374428.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Hard Rock Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Hard-Rock-Hotel.h485506.Hotel-Information) > > [Reunion Resort & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Reunion-Resort-Golf-Club.h992499.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale 17th Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-Ft-Lauderdale17th-Street.h11909.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando at Flamingo Crossings](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Orlando-Flamingo-Crossings.h58072517.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-B-Ocean-Resort.h5404.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House Fort Lauderdale, a Hilton Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Hilton-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h28591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tides on Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Tides-On-Hollywood.h44524455.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Orlando International Drive](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Orlando-International-Drive.h4262.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Margaritaville-Hollywood-Beach-Resort.h10005147.Hotel-Information) > > [Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Diplomat-Beach-Resort-Hollywood.h857779.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Miami South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Moxy-Miami-South-Beach.h55553829.Hotel-Information) > > [Walt Disney World Dolphin](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Dolphin.h12710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Westin-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h17159.Hotel-Information) > > [W Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-W-Fort-Lauderdale.h2335216.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Fort-Lauderdale-Marriott-Harbor-Beach-Resort-Spa.h21880.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Bahama-Bay-Resort.h1056615.Hotel-Information)
